Do I need to know the password to unlock a PDF?

Yes. This tool removes protection from PDFs you have legitimate access to — it doesn't crack or guess unknown passwords.

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. The password is used entirely inside your browser to decrypt the file locally.

You'll see a clear error message and can try again — nothing is uploaded or processed until it's correct.
